The article deals with pastoral care for family according to Amoris Laetitia. The author’s concern is to discuss the pastoral steps for the families in the face of crisis situations: What kind of pastoral steps can be organized to assist families in crisis situations? This article is based on the study of ecclesial document Amoris Laetitia, a post-synodal apostolic exhortation by Pope Francis addressing the pastoral care of families. First of all, the article describes the basic thoughts of this document, especially those related to the reality and ideals of family life. Then, it shows some practical pastoral thoughts for assisting families in special situations. The results can be a significant contribution for the Church in terms of its important duties and responsibilities in assisting the families today, but also for family pastoral activists. This description concludes that the crisis situation faced by families is not a fact to be constantly regretted, but an opportunity for the Church to show God's mercy to those who are struggling in difficult situations.

Before, during, and after the Synods on the family and Pope Francis’s apostolic exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, Catholics have been engaged in extensive debates on the theology of the family in light of changing practices and norms. This essay argues that contemporary Catholic thinking on the family balances a radical vision of marriage as lifelong love oriented outward with a vision of a church offering welcome, accompaniment, and mercy.

This article summarizes the teaching on marriage and the family offered by the Second Vatican Council (1962–65) and by the 1981 post-synodal, apostolic exhortation of Pope John Paul II, The Role of the Christian Family in the Modern World ( Familiaris Consortio). Against this background, the content and language of The Final Report issued at the end of the second session of the synod on the family (October 4–25) are examined. These considerations lead to an evaluation of the continuity and change in teaching found in Pope Francis’s post-synodal, apostolic exhortation, The Joy of Love ( Amoris Laetitia).

As famílias representam para a Igreja um setor prioritário, merecedor das melhores forças e de uma Pastoral Familiar realmente organizada. Uma redobrada atenção é dirigida às famílias em “situações especiais”, em favor das quais a Igreja é chamada a devotar uma solicitude pastoral ainda mais viva. O cuidado moral e pastoral começará por tomar em conta a “situação real” para, em seguida, levar a um itinerário progressivo, abrindo caminhos, apontando possibilidades, criando condições, evitando degradações, num empenho pastoral na linha do Bom Pastor. Contempla-se, neste texto, com brevidade, os casos especiais mais comuns na pastoral familiar.Abstract: Families represent a priority sector for the Church, one that deserves its best efforts and a thoroughly organized Family Pastoral. Redoubled attention is paid to families in “special situations” in whose benefit the Church is called to devote an even livelier part of its concern. Moral and pastoral care will start by taking into consideration the “real situation” and then will take a progressive path, opening new fronts, indicating possibilities, creating conditions, avoiding degradation, in the Good Shepherd’s type of pastoral effort. In this text, we will examine briefly some of the most common special cases in the family pastoral.

The article addresses the spirituality of marriage according to Saint Augustine and has three parts. In the first part, the context of the Roman family institution, in which the Christian vision of the family was born and matured, is presented. Secondly, the presentation of the Christian family in the time of Saint Augustine is made, highlighting the three heterodox currents of that time in relation to marriage, as well as the position of the Bishop of Hippo regarding the body. Subsequently, a presentation of the most significant texts of De Bono coniugali is made. Thirdly, some pastoral observations are presented, starting from the penitential practice of Saint Augustine in relation to the wounded families, to later make a comparison with the contents expressed by Pope Francis in the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris laetitia on the same topic.

Introduction A disease of a loved one constitutes a serious disturbance in the functioning of many families. Meeting expectations of patients’ families is seen as an element conditioning the level of satisfaction from the care provided in hospital. Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the expectations of families of people hospitalized in the Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Material and methods The study was carried out in ICUs in the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship. The study was performed by diagnostic survey using the questionnaire technique. In total 104 people were surveyed. Results and Discussion The highest ranking expectation of the patient’s loved ones was that of trust towards the staff diagnosing and treating the patient as well as the staff nursing them. Then there came: the feeling of ensuring the best care possible for the patient, obtaining information about the patient’s health, education on the way the unit functions, staying at the patient’s bedisde in the ICU. Lower in the ranking were the importance of having access to the family zone amenities, the opportunity of sharing their problems with others or receiving psychological and pastoral care. Conclusions The most important need of visitors to the ICU is to obtain assurance that the patient is provided the best care possible. As the second most important need, the respondents mentioned the need to be close to the patient and easiness of obtaining information about their health condition provided by the doctor.
